So I'm finally in a good place with the kids as far as they both are on a good nap schedule, STTN, I'm back to feeling like I know what I'm doing, etc. DH and I agreed that if we did want a third, that #2 would need to be at least 2 before we TTC so that they are able to help/in preschool, potty trained, all that good stuff. All of this makes sense in my head, and having both under 2 is overwhelming enough for me.
I can't stop thinking about #3, it's driving me crazy. We don't even know if we want a third for sure. I can't just step back and be content with our current family life. All of our reasons make sense, but then there's nature, and hormones on the other side.
Could someone please tell me how exhausting three kids is, and how much it sucks to chase two kids and be pregnant?
Re: Talk me down ladies
I have to agree! We considered 3 at one point, but then our kids were both walking (running) and it was a whole different ballgame. Insanity has hit a new level.
I'm so relieved we never got pregnant with a 3rd! I'd be committed for sure. Mine are (almost) 3 and (almost) 2 and I finally happy with just 2 kids, especially considering, like PP said, they often run in different directions.
It is more tiring to be pregnant and have toddlers, than it is to have a newborn and toddlers.
Yes, exhausting.
